Then, a transformation and into a short stand-up routine of one liners a laMUtonBerle or Bob Hope, One ofhislines- an aside on Manhattan's impossible traffic was almost pure Hope; "You know, I was driving down Fifth Avenue today and I got three tickets for parking." Then, another transformation and into a sort of Sid Caesar pantomime routine which had to do with a policeman directing traffic. And incidentally, a very funny too. This was followed later in the show by another skit set in a subway that was again vaguely tinged with the Sid Caesar touch or perhaps, George Gobe: the little man, trapped, pushed, adrift in a "distorted world with which he can't cope. From all this, you may assume that King has no identity of his own, but strangely enough, it's not ture. For one thing, he has assimilated all these styles, bunching them into a cozy package that sits quite comfortably on him.

For another, King brings a rather curious addition to the package sex. I don't mean that King is a terribly attractive man -or that he psfits around the cameras like the Continental. What he does pack, however, is a very frank aggressiveness, a sort of ropean insinuation that goes beyond the leering of American comics. I'm not quite sure how this will sit with American audiences, but in many ways I find it infinitely preferable to the little-boy-with-a-semi- blue-joke approach of many American TV comedians.

A tornado hit near Mineral Wells, a ship ran aground during a storm at Galveston and lightning set two houses on fire at San Antonio. At least two deaths were blamed on the weather.

Zoning Board Asks Special Permit Rule The planning 'and zoning commission this week requested the city attorney to draw up an ordinance giving the city broad authority in granting special permits on uncontested land usage not in compliance with surrounding zone classifications. The zoning board discarded the idea of using an advance list of items on which special zoning could apply. Instead, it asked that an all-inclusive ordinance be drawn up. If passed the ordinance would mean that if a land usage were not protested by neighbors and were approved by the city council it could go into effect without the actual zoning being changed.

If the particular usage approved ceased to be effective, the permit could not be trans-" ferred to another use or person. The proposed ordinance will give the planning and zoning commission the power to require physical barriers which could blank off a facility which might be objectionable to surrounding property owners. Also the ordinance would let the zoning body require special land improvements such as entrance and exit locations and added parking facilities. I OPEN DAILY 8.3O P.
